2004 Moto Guzzi California Titanium

Titanium is light and ultra-resistant, used in the
space industry and wherever a very light and exceptionally
resistant material is required. The colour of the
California Titanium was chosen to emphasise the modernity
of a motorcycle with a historic and glorious name,
now available in the most recent and thrilling version.
The inheritance of the past can be seen in the natural
riding position, with the classic raised footpegs
and high handlebar, the distinctive signs of every
true custom.

The 90° V-Twin is also a traditional element, but
only in appearance. Constantly evolving, the legendary
engine has hydraulic tappets to increase performance
and reduce noise. Power is guaranteed at low revs
by the cross piece connecting the manifolds of the
two cylinders and at medium revs by the good compression
ratio (9.8:1). The California Titanium travels through
ever different landscape but always with the same
respect for the environment. Emissions are reduced
by a car-type catalysing system with three-way catalytic
converter and Lambda sensor.

While the performance underlines the sporting soul
of the bike, the elegant and minimalist racing cockpit
fairing emphasises its touring vocation, protecting
the rider's torso from aerodynamic turbulence and
also efficient at high speeds. The distinctive moulded
shape and aerodynamics improve the coefficient of
penetration, while the colour is co-ordinated with
the colour of the livery. Comfort is "true California",
with the ultra-comfortable large saddle, well padded
and anatomical.
